About me
Hello, I have many years experience in the NHS and private practice, having helped with many issues such as anxiety, bereavement, trauma, illness, relationship struggles, stress, low self esteem/confidence and depression. I work in a warm and confidential manner to be able to help you find some calm, peace and healing as well as discover new ways to live a more fulfilling life and move forward.
I am an accredited integrative counsellor, psychotherapist and EMDR therapist which means I work from various approaches to be able to help you find a way to work through your difficulties.
The first session will be spent looking at why you have decided to seek support along with your needs and expectations of counselling and how I may be able to help. If you decide you would like to continue we can discuss and agree to further sessions. Therapy usually takes place once a week and I am able to support both short and long term.
If you would like to consider therapy, why not contact me to discuss further and we can go from there.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
